1. If the humidifier has been preinstalled and needs servicing, refer to “How
to Maintain a Skuttle Steam Humidifier” (page 16) for instructions.
2. For either a new or preinstalled humidifier, select a suitable mounting
location for the flushing timer within 3 feet of the humidifier, and within 10
feet of a properly fused electrical outlet.
3. Locate a suitable waste drain for disposal of flushed water.
CAUTION
: Drain tubing must not kink or come in contact with
sharp edges or hot surfaces. Tubing must run in a continual downhill
slope to allow proper drainage and to prevent overflow.
4a. If this flushing timer was purchased as an accessory to install on a
steam humidifier… remove the drain valve from the humidifier and install
the 90º barbed fitting (provided), as shown in Figure 8 (page 13).
4b. If this flushing timer was purchased with the steam humidifier as a
complete assembly… the 90º barbed fitting should already be installed
on the humidifier in the proper location. (See Figure 8, page 13.)
5. Screw the unit to the mounting surface selected in Step #2.
6. Cut a piece of drain tubing to reach from the humidifier fitting to the fitting
on the side of the flushing timer.
CAUTION
: Drain tubing must not kink or come in contact with
sharp edges or hot surfaces. (This caution applies to Step #7, as well.)
7. Cut a second piece of tubing to reach from the bottom fitting on the flush-
ing timer to the drain. (See Step #3.)
8. Connect tubing with clamps or fittings suitable for your installation.
9. Return the steam humidifier to its normal operating mode. Refer to pages
11 & 12 to properly set the water level.
10. Plug the flushing timer into the designated outlet. (See Step #2.)
11. Check all fittings for leaks. Tighten as necessary.
12. Test the flushing timer for proper operation.
A. Press and release the MANUAL button.
B. Wait 10 to 30 seconds* until the flushing noise stops, indicating that
the flushing cycle is complete.
*The number of seconds will vary depending upon how the unit is pro-
grammed. (See “Reprogramming Instructions”, page 15.)
